Cuistard Tart/ flan pâtissier anglais

heavy cream

🥗Healthier: Greek yogurt

💰Cheaper: milk + cornstarch

Greek yogurt reduces calories while maintaining creaminess

puff pastry

🥗Healthier: whole wheat pastry

💰Cheaper: homemade pie crust

Whole wheat pastry adds fiber and is often cheaper than store-bought puff pastry.

Prepare the pastry by mixing the all-purpose flour with the cold butter until crumbly.

Add the powdered sugar and mix well.

Gradually add cold water until the dough comes together.

Roll out the pastry and line a tart pan with it, trimming excess.

In a saucepan, heat the cream and milk over medium heat until just simmering.

In a bowl, whisk together the sugar, vanilla, and nutmeg until smooth.

Slowly pour the hot cream mixture into the sugar mixture, whisking constantly.

Return the mixture to the saucepan and cook over medium heat, stirring constantly until it thickens.

Pour the custard filling into the prepared pastry shell.

Bake in the preheated oven until the custard is set and the top is lightly golden.
